sanctions, about $7 billion worth, but leave most others still in force. the whole deal is temporary. six months for negotiators to hammer out a final agreement which will be more difficult to get done. on "this week," secretary of state john kerry argued this deal is plenty tough on iran and reversible. >> if they are not prepared to do the things necessary to be able to have a peaceful program, truly peaceful, and provable, as such. then the sanctions can be turned back up. >> reporter: but the doubters and critics are legions starting in jerusalem where israeli prime minister netanyahu blasted the geneva deal declaring -- >> it is a historic mistake. it's not made the world a safer place. >> reporter: in congress, most republicans and many democrats voice deep skepticism of president obama's approach. >> we have let them out of the trap. >> reporter: they are preparing even more tougher sanctions which if passed would effectively kill this deal. another diplomatic astonishment.
